Hey Everyone,
Just got my initial CFI yesterday, and now plan on instructing and building up the requirements to fly part 135. My question is about the 500 hour cross-country requirement. It's my understanding that this is airport to airport, and is not subject to the "greater than 50-mile" stipulation for ATP, etc. How do you log this if you go up with a student and fly to another airport maybe 20 minutes away, do some touch-and-goes, and then practice maneuvers? If you're up for, say, 1.5 hours, but only fly to another local airport, then is all of this time loggable towards the 135 x-ctry requirement or is there more to it than that? Thanks for your input.
